Neuromechanics and Bioelectricity of Movement

Module code: EMS520U

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Thilina Lalitharatne

Understanding how each of the individual components of the nervous and muscular system function, and how they combine to generate successful movement enables us to develop a range of mobility technologies to improve lost locomotor function. Therefore, this module introduces the underlying fundamental principles of muscle force generation, neural signal transmission and the resultant gross motor movements. Within
each aspect, consideration is given to both healthy and diseased states to demonstrate how different components affect functionality and the current technologies being used to improve functional loss.
